So pretty much as the title says, my beardie will not let me pick her up, I can get my hands near her, but as soon as i try to pick her up she runs. Once i get her out of the cage if i can catch her without hurting her, she is fine.

So my simple question is, is there a way to get a beardie used to being picked up? I can literally do anything else to her, she takes food from my hand if I try, really, that's the only way she eats greens. She let's me pet her with no problems, she just refuses to allow me to pick her up.. Any ideas?

Mirage came out of brumation on April 26. He was doing great. On May 2 he started acting funny. We just redid his tank, and he keeps going into one of his hides. He just lays there. He shows no intrest in food. HELP!
is tape safe for fixing something in my leopard geckos hide?
Day 3 of brumation. It's a struggle. I really miss my little guy. 😔

Getting ready for another day. Feeling sleepy. 😴
